True Crime Couple

In the late afternoon of July 12, 1988 the neighborhood search for four year old Barbara Jean Horn would end abruptly after the girl’s body was discovered completely washed and nude in a television box just over a quarter of a mile from her home. The hunt for the man that committed the horrific crime and the subsequent trials that would follow would expose other wrong doings and injustices in the city of Philadelphia.  Patreon.com/truecrimecouple [http://patreon.com/truecrimecouple]  Sources: https://www.newspapers.com/image/186267498/?match=1&terms=barbara%20jean%20horn [https://www.newspapers.com/image/186267498/?match=1&terms=barbara%20jean%20horn] https://www.newspapers.com/image/169372109/?match=1&terms=barbara%20jean%20horn [https://www.newspapers.com/image/169372109/?match=1&terms=barbara%20jean%20horn] https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Barbara_Jean_Horn [https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Barbara_Jean_Horn] https://northeasttimes.com/2020/04/09/barbara-jean-horns-mom-release-walter-ogrod-he-is-innocent/ [https://northeasttimes.com/2020/04/09/barbara-jean-horns-mom-release-walter-ogrod-he-is-innocent/] https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/barbara-jean-horn-murder-philadelphia-walter-ogrod/ [https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/barbara-jean-horn-murder-philadelphia-walter-ogrod/] https://www.poconorecord.com/story/news/2003/07/17/man-confesses-to-1987-rape/50978184007/ [https://www.poconorecord.com/story/news/2003/07/17/man-confesses-to-1987-rape/50978184007/] https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6825730-The-Snitch-Career-Thief-A-Master-at-Dropping-the/ [https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6825730-The-Snitch-Career-Thief-A-Master-at-Dropping-the/] https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/investigations/former-philadelphia-police-detectives-frank-jastrzembski-manuel-santiago-martin-devlin-perjury-lying-trial-wrongfully-convicted-man-anthony-wright/4144229/ [https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/investigations/former-philadelphia-police-detectives-frank-jastrzembski-manuel-santiago-martin-devlin-perjury-lying-trial-wrongfully-convicted-man-anthony-wright/4144229/] The Trials of Walter Ogrod [https://www.amazon.com/Trials-Walter-Ogrod-So-Called-Confessions/dp/1613738013] by Thomas Lowenstein Chicago Review Press

On Mother's Day 1985, a call came into the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department that neighbors had not seen a mother of three, nor her three children in days. When they had gone to check on the welfare of the family, they could hear the youngest of the daughters crying. When they had looked through her window, they saw the toddler alone, wailing, desperately seeking comfort. A deputy came to respond to the distressing call, but it would not be the condition of the poor child that would shock the city of Fayetteville, it would be the horrors that lay beyond her room.

The history of Craig County Oklahoma is filled with stories of sadness and chaos. Today we will be discussing another time that blood was spilled on the dirt of Craig County, but this time there was no massive conflict or war, this was an entirely different kind of modern tragedy for two families in late December of 1999. It was an exciting time, not only was it one of their 16th birthdays but they were on the precipice of new millennium, an exciting new year. To celebrate this the girls planned a sleepover. The night was supposed to be filled with whispered secrets, junk food and laughter, but instead it encompassed their final hours, which were marked by unimaginable terror.  Sources: https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/2002/04/18/records-released-in-shooting-death/62098673007/ [https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/2002/04/18/records-released-in-shooting-death/62098673007/] https://www.newspapers.com/image/662257052/?match=1&terms=shane%20freeman [https://www.newspapers.com/image/662257052/?match=1&terms=shane%20freeman] https://www.newson6.com/story/67731da48a4b0cd5008f7dd9/25-years-later:-the-1999-disappearance-of-lauria-bible-and-ashley-freeman [https://www.newson6.com/story/67731da48a4b0cd5008f7dd9/25-years-later:-the-1999-disappearance-of-lauria-bible-and-ashley-freeman] https://unsolved.com/gallery/lauria-bible-ashley-freeman/ [https://unsolved.com/gallery/lauria-bible-ashley-freeman/] https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/2002/04/18/records-released-in-shooting-death/62098673007/ [https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/2002/04/18/records-released-in-shooting-death/62098673007/] https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/13038073/kathy-eleta-freeman [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/13038073/kathy-eleta-freeman] https://www.fox61.com/article/news/local/outreach/awareness-months/more-than-12-people-kept-silent-after-oklahoma-girls-disappeared-in-1999-prosecutors-say/520-b2f75c47-9eea-48fa-b88f-31a7b5797532 [https://www.fox61.com/article/news/local/outreach/awareness-months/more-than-12-people-kept-silent-after-oklahoma-girls-disappeared-in-1999-prosecutors-say/520-b2f75c47-9eea-48fa-b88f-31a7b5797532] https://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry?entry=PI002 [https://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry?entry=PI002] https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/lauria-bible-and-ashley-freeman-murder-mystery-dark-forces-at-work/2XAINSQXRXXVT4NKWFNS22R3OQ/ [https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/lauria-bible-and-ashley-freeman-murder-mystery-dark-forces-at-work/2XAINSQXRXXVT4NKWFNS22R3OQ/] https://people.com/crime/people-magazine-investigates-overlooked-clue-broke-open-1999-murder-case/ [https://people.com/crime/people-magazine-investigates-overlooked-clue-broke-open-1999-murder-case/] https://web.archive.org/web/20180926224748/https://www.tulsaworld.com/specialreports/missingwelchgirls/ [https://web.archive.org/web/20180926224748/https://www.tulsaworld.com/specialreports/missingwelchgirls/] https://odcr.com/detail?court=018-&casekey=018-CF++1800056 [https://odcr.com/detail?court=018-&casekey=018-CF++1800056] https://www.okhouse.gov/posts/news-20250312_5 [https://www.okhouse.gov/posts/news-20250312_5] https://www.koamnewsnow.com/phil-welch-mug/image_2e20efd4-f88a-11ef-8546-eb0aed0f10dc.html [https://www.koamnewsnow.com/phil-welch-mug/image_2e20efd4-f88a-11ef-8546-eb0aed0f10dc.html] https://kfor.com/news/local/25-years-later-families-continue-search-for-missing-oklahoma-teens/ [https://kfor.com/news/local/25-years-later-families-continue-search-for-missing-oklahoma-teens/] https://www.koco.com/article/oklahoma-welch-girls-cold-case-picher-ashley-freeman-lauria-bible/41759447 [https://www.koco.com/article/oklahoma-welch-girls-cold-case-picher-ashley-freeman-lauria-bible/41759447] Hell in the Heartland Murder, Meth, and the Case of Two Missing Girls By Jax Miller  [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/608159/hell-in-the-heartland-by-jax-miller/]

On a cold February night in Pontiac Michigan the dream an expecting mother would have to one day hold her son would be ripped from her when she was brutally murdered in her bedroom. The suspects would be plentiful because many had the opportunity, but this case would come down to who had the motive to murder.\ Patreon.com/truecrimecouple [http://patreon.com/truecrimecouple] Sponsors: IQBAR IQBAR is offering our special podcast listeners twenty percent off all IQBAR products, plus get FREE shipping.
